The commemorative coin is dedicated to the bicentenary of birth of Taras Hryhorovych SHEVCHENKO, an outstanding son of the Ukrainian people, poet of genius, artist, thinker that has made an inestimable contribution to the spiritual treasury of humankind. The great Kobzar's talent has climbed the heights of Ukrainian and world culture, the vigour of its national phenomenality diffuses far beyond the ambit of literature and art.
